Thanks TM, he is a gorgeous animal, and very intelligent (and crafty :wah: )

He communicates with us very well. e.g. we have a bowl of water in the sitting room on a mat for him. If he drinks it all up, he'll nudge the bowl against the wall and makes it clunk, then he comes across to whoever is in the room, stands in front of them and slowly wags, the person looks up and Rex walks over to his bowl, stands there, turns his head towards the person and nods ! The water bowl is replenished and as it is being replaced on the mat, Rex is nodding his head furiously and wagging his tail !! He takes a good drink from the bowl. :wah:

That's so cute! It never amazes me what animals can do. My two little ones only need me to ask them if they want to watch TV. They jump on the chair and their heads turn left and right like they are really watching TV. You should see their heads go when tennis is on :wah::wah:

My dogs also like a bath and would stay there until they were water logged :wah: TG they are the size of cats and they both fit in the tub together :wah:

Good Evening:D

All a Dream

I fell asleep yesterday listening to an old album that my mom had. I really enjoyed it, though I had a weird dream. It was kind of like one of the old songs.

I've been workin' in FOC thread,

All the bleedin day.

I've been workin' in FOC thread,

Just to pass the time away.

Don't you hear the whistle gyrating?

Rise up so early in the morn.

Don't you hear Big Brother shouting

“Kaz, blow your horn?

Kaz, won't you blow,

Kaz, won't you blow,

Kaz, won't you blow your horn?

Kaz, won't you blow,

Kaz, won't you blow,

Kaz, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the bedroom with Kaz.

Someone's in the bedroom, I know.

Someone's in the bedroom with Kaz

Strumming on the old Bazooka.

It was the weirdest dream I've had in a long time!

Special News Report

Good evening, I'm Trever McDonald, and this is a special report from NASA. Strange things are occurring during this important mission to the Moon. As most of the world knows, the astronauts on this mission are studying whether or not it is possible to chew on the Moon.

Today, two of the astronauts, Chezzie and Kay, were outside the space shuttle performing tests. The astronauts reported that an alien spacecraft with bright lights landed next to the space shuttle. More than 69 aliens left the spacecraft and spit over to the astronauts.

Astronaut Chezzie said, “The aliens are about 11 feet tall, and they have scaley skin. We think they are squish, but we are not sure.

The astronauts have been trying to talk to the aliens. “Communication has been difficult, astronaut Kay told officials at NASA. “The aliens make sounds like moths when they are talking.

The aliens stayed on the Moon for about an hour before they got back into their spacecraft and flew away. Before they left, they gave the astronauts one poo. NASA officials think this is a token of friendship and hope we see our alien friends again.

I'm Trever McDonald, and this has been a special report. Thank you.

Factoids

Do you know the names of the three wise monkeys? They are: Mizaru (See no evil), Mikazaru (Hear no evil), and Mazaru (Speak no evil).

An atomic clock is accurate to within 1 second in 1,7 million years.

Thomas Cook, the world's first travel agency in the world, was founded in 1850.

A fathom is 1,8 metres (6 feet).

There are more TV sets in the US than there are people in the UK.

Before the year 1000, the word "she" did not exist in the English language. The singular female reference was the word "heo", which also was the plural of all genders. The word "she" appeared only in the 12th century, about 400 years after English began to take form. "She" probably derived from the Old English feminine "seo", the Viking word for feminine reference.

There are no letters assigned to the numbers 1 and 0 on a phone keypad. These numbers remain unassigned because they are so-called "flag" numbers, kept for special purposes such as emergency or operator services.

After the French Revolution of 1789 selling sour wine was considered against national interest and the merchant was promptly executed.

For 3000 years, until 1883, hemp was the world's largest agricultural crop, from which the majority of fabric, soap, paper, medicines, and oils were produced.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. The US Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper.

The word malaria comes from the words mal and aria, which means bad air. This derives from the old days when it was thought that all diseases are caused by bad, or dirty air.

The names of all the continents end with the letter they start with.

On every continent there is a city called Rome.

The oldest inhabited city is Damascus, Syria.

The first city in the world to have a population of more than one million was Rome: see History 303

The most populated city in the world - when major urban areas are included - is Tokyo, with 30 million residents.

Tokyo was once known as Edo.

The pin that holds a hinge together is called a pintle.

The Vatican is the world's smallest country, at 0,44 square km (0,16 square miles).

The US flag displays 13 stripes - for the original 13 states.

To most Americans, the orient is China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam; to Europeans it is the area of India and Pakistan.

The words "electronic mail" might sound new but was introduced 30 years ago. Queen Elizabeth of Britain sent her first email in 1976.

Some 190 billion emails are sent daily - more than 2 million per second - by 1,2 billion email senders. About 70% (133 billion emails) are spam and viruses. There are about 1,4 billion registered email addresses.

Eskimos use refrigerators to keep food from freezing.

MasterCard was originally called MasterCharge. More at creditcards

Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon with his left foot first.

The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.

Lightning strikes men about seven times more often than it does women.

Women make up 49% of the world population.

About 50% of Americans live within 50 miles of their birthplace. This is called propinquity.

The pleasant feeling of eating chocolate is caused by a chemical called anadamide, a neurotransmitter which also is produced naturally in the brain.

From the Middle Ages until the 18th century the local barber's duties included dentistry, blood letting, minor operations and bone-setting. The barber's striped red pole originates from when patients would grip the pole during an operation.

The US nickname Uncle Sam was derived from Uncle Sam Wilson, a meat inspector in Troy, New York.

The living does not outnumber the dead: since the creation about 60 billion people have died.

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.

Midday refers to the moment the sun crosses the local meridian.

Due to earth's gravity it is impossible for mountains to be higher than 15,000 metres.

It is not true that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure that can be viewed from space - many man-made objects, including the Dutch polders, can be viewed from space.

Today

Today i thought about you,

Today something remided me of you,

Today i walked past you,

But you didn't see me.

Today I saw you laughing and joking with your friends,

Today I saw the shine in your smile,

Today i walked past you,

But you didn't see me.

Today I wrote a poem about you,

Today I was talking about you to my friends,

Today I walked past you,

But you didn't see me,

You didn't see me at all.
